Bedroom Glamor with Bec NSFW

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I really like the second one. The things behind her head and body (bed?) are a bit distracting for me in the first. Thanks for the setup shot. I always find them interesting.

lol :idea: heres an idea, maybe you should critique some images here given the standard of your images and the fact that you run workshops?!

Also, and i speak purely for me here, but maybe posting the identical post over 4 different australian forums is (imo) diluting your potential response. I know I feel more inclined to give my time to critique , with my limited skills, when i dont see the same thing over all the forums I view (mods if you feel this comment is inappropriate feel free to slap me down).

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I don't normally comment on this style of shot, as I just don't have something useful to add usually...

But in this post, you've taken the time and effort to show your setup - most don't bother - and that's a great addition to what you're sharing. For those of us that don't do this sort of thing, an insight into setup/equipment/etc is invaluable - thanks :)

I quite like both of the shots -

I am not sure on the pose in the first one I think though - her left arm looks cut off to me - the pose looks a little un-natural - my mind says her arm should be forward more rather than behind her. Not necessarily in front, but not behind. I like the lighting and everything else about it though.

The second one - don't have a critique, other than to say it looks like she's been caught up to no good (there is an element of surprise/shock in her gaze).


Thanks again for sharing the setup - makes this post much more than just a showpiece :)

Nicely done Frank.

How are you managing the flash ratios while shooting on aperture priority and manual flash control? [Or are you using TTL; if so, which triggers are you using?]

Thanks for the comments everyone,

Yes, I was using ETTL, ratio was about 1:4 (not sure), trigger was a Canon ST-E2

First image is very beautiful and an exercise in good taste. Something often missing in this genre of photography. Good work.
